Metro-E Multi-Services Bea

Scenarios: a solution for carriers build Metropolitan Area Networks.

Structure:

This is a typical metropolitan area network 3 level architecture, consisting core layer, aggregation layer and access layer. In FTTX scenario, fiberhome core switches (S7800 series) can be used to aggregate Internet traffic, and aggregation switches can be used in buildings or in enterprises to access different terminals like laptops, cellphones, printers, cameras and so on. If the last mile is covered by wireless APs as in the FTTW scenarios, fiberhome have the POE switches.

Advantages：

MPLS/MPLS VPN

This technique can make the network traffic forworded more rapidly than IP forwording. Multiprotocol Label Switching, which is short for MPLS, is a mechanism that directs data from one network node to the next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses, avoiding complex lookups in a routing table. MPLS technique help to create virtual private networks more easily, and has a better security capability. Now MPLS is one of the most popular techniques in the IP networks.

50ms Resilience

By hardware based OAM and BFD technique, Fiberhome switchs can achieve fast faulty detection and 50ms resilience, which means switchover from Active switch to standby switch can be done within 50ms.

Advanced QoS mechanisms

Quality of service is the ability to provide different priority to different users, applications, or to guarantee the highest-priority packets are processed ahead of all other traffic. MPLS technique can enhance QoS services for users.

Auto Configuration

Fiberhome offer “0” touch for easy deployment, which reduces the need for experties and makes the repeative configuration work much easer.

Energy Conservation

Fiberhome provide several methods to help save energy for the company, for example:

• Idle ports sleep mode
• Flexible PoE allocations
• Fan speed adjustable
• Use of power saving components

In generall, fiberhome products support energy efficient Ethernet Standard, whose power consumption is 30% lower than average.
